    Somewhat lost in Kobe Bryant's magical 60-point farewell performance were the major question marks about who will take his mantle as the next Los Angeles Lakers superstar. Could it be the flashy and promising D'Angelo Russell? Will Julius Randle exceed all expectations and develop into a franchise cornerstone? Or will it be a team effort from that lottery pick pairing, flanked by Jordan Clarkson, Larry Nance, Jr., and any other pieces added to supplement that young core?

    According to former Lakers great and soon to be Hall of Fame center Shaquille O'Neal, the team's next superstar isn't on their roster yet, but will be this summer.

    When asked where Oklahoma City forward Kevin Durant will play next season, Shaq paused, smiled, and named the team he won three les with at the turn of the Century. "The Los Angeles Lakers," said O'Neal.

    Most would assume this is just a prediction from O'Neal rather than actual reporting, but those would be ignoring the close sources Shaq has around Oklahoma City.

    Stranger things have happened. If we can get him help in the form of 2 other max players, why wouldn't he consider the Lakers?

    I'm gone leave this right here:



    KD gets $22M, Whiteside gets $16M, Derozan gets $19M. That's ~$59M for 3 max players. We have over $65M in cap space. You were saying?

    Maybe, maybe not. I said we can sign 3. You said only 2. We'll see if Shaq is right.

    You're playing checkers. Whiteside is the best defensive big in the game. Derozan is a 2guard, not PG. We got the snitch for that.

    You might not be Keith Sweat, but you're definitely Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons.

    Lakers have a ton of money now and some good youth pieces in Russell, Nance Jr, Randleman, and Jordan Clarkson. First we need to get a very good coach and there isnt much out there sadly. Eventually, a few superstars are going to band together in LA and make a few le runs. It's one of the reasons why I am really happy Kobe is retired...it wasnt good for anyone at this point.

    There is a huge jump in the cap for 2016-17. Durant's max will be around $27 million for the first year. So will DeRozan's. Whiteside's would be $23 million. The ~$65 million cap number is about right after factoring in the cap holds for the 6 empty roster spots the Lakers would have, but that's $77 million in salary for those three.

    Randle is Garbage, and Clarkson will command a near max salary.

    If someone pays Whiteside $23 mil....
